Looks like another Hurricane is back on the menu . This time it might come though closer to me after it hits the west coast again. On the day of my flight. Fml.

Yeah, Milton is forming.

Yeah, Milton is forming.

Looks like landfall , as of this moment , will be around Tampa? More northern then I originally thought. We both should start preparing. If it goes south then there is a better chance of my area feeling the effects when it comes out the other side.

Depends on the model but right now, looks like Sarasota but I imagine we'll know more over the next couple of days. Stay safe.

Oh boy. Glad I'm not in lakeland anymore. That hurricane is pretty much "f*** you in particular florida"

That is going to be a mess if it cuts across the whole state like that. Usually it'll catch a section and the rest of the state can all chip in and help.

Ian, Idalia, Michael... west coast is starting to get hammered more. This isn't going to change, sadly.

I lived in Dunedin for a short time maybe 20 years ago. Milton looks like he's making a straight line to my old stomping grounds. Damn..hopeful it isn't as bad as Helene was..the NOAA track shows >110 mph winds though, that sucks

The most shocking thing to me is that people are flocking to Florida at such a rate. Texas too. I get it, people like no income tax. You can get that in Arizona or Nevada without massive power outages or hurricanes.

We still have an income tax, albeit a flat rate now.

Buffalo sports never provides a 'pick-me-up' when you need it. Really, really tired of rooting for these franchises.

My parents have decided to do the sensible thing and evacuate. It will be very crowded here later today - five adults and two dogs in a two bedroom apartment.

good deal. be careful down there. I have a bad feeling about this one. I think even my brother in Boca is going to get some of the eastern side of this shit.

Yeah, this one is potentially frightening. The swell could be over 10' from Charlotte Harbor to above Tampa Bay. With the damage from Helene, they're still trying to get things cleaned up or there is about to be a bunch of debris shoved around dangerously when this one hits in places like Pinellas County.

Good lord. It's a Cat 5. I knew the warm waters were gonna strengthen it but this looks scary as hell. You all on the West Coast be safe.

I'm not that far above him. I'm more concerned about the people living where this monster will make landfall though.
